Hi,
Google earth now comes with a Linux (closed source) driver.
That is sort of an interesting app.: you can go to anywhere on earth and
zoom in and it keeps downloading the appropriate maps.
Except... with a dialup line it always dies after a while.
3d thing?
Perhaps not the right term but google earth is composed of a server and
a client. You download the client. It talks with the server to get the
right maps of where you are looking. That client is closed source, it is
binary code and you cannot get the source (e,g. to find out where the
segfault occurs).
The more interesting thing is that it always dies with a segfault when I
use it, after a while.
Still it is an interesting application.
